Black & White Station, Pandan Indah

-
I have to continue to concentrate in my voucher reviews. So this time I will bring you a voucher from Groupon. The link for the voucher will be as below:
2-course meal + 1 Ice Cream Dessert for 2 people for RM20 by Black & White Station

This is a very straightforward voucher. They will provide you a soup, a main course and also a dessert @RM10/pax. The main course has a choice of two which are BBQ Grill Chicken Chop or Grill Fish Chop

This is the cafe. This cafe is not located at the corner lot so it is not very obvious to locate them. Furthermore, there are just too many cafes around with the same standard such as Old Town Cafe, Station One Cafe, Dolphin and much much more! So it is normal if you do not notice this cafe especially in the day. Wi-fi is available with no password required. However, parking here is a real pain. It is very normal when too many cafes around and you will get too many crowds so eventually finding a parking will not be that easy. Solution? As usual, park KL style.

Black and white are their color theme. Their costume in black and walls are all in white.
Very spacious place which is very rarely you can see in a cafe. Usually such cafe will try to fully utilized the space available. In my opinion, since this is a black and white cafe, the chair should be fully black as well and the flooring should be either black or white or both. Actually the black and white style is not very contrast and not really well presented to us to notice the beauty of black and white. Sometimes it is not just the food, drinks or service to have return customers, a cafe concept is very important too because it is to represent the uniqueness of the cafe where customers will keep on bragging to one another.
The mushroom soup
Once again you will see me commenting a mushroom soup. This soup has rich of mushroom taste and you have a lot of mushrooms to bite. However, it is a bit too salty after a few sips. I feel it has too much MSG. To compare with other mushroom soups which are Ben & Nick's Diner and Rush Hours Gastropub, this mushroom soup is better than Rush Hours Gastropub but not a match with Ben & Nick's Diner.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 2/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: N/A
Overall: 2/5 - Can skip this if you have to.

Grill Fish Chop with Black Pepper
This is what my sister is having. I chose for her since fish has full of protein and it is good for her body. LOL. Anyway, we both agreed that the fish meat melt in our mouth instead of chewing it. While the pepper sauce should be tickling our taste bud instead of making us feel it too spicy.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: N/A
Overall: 2/5 - It is a great Fish Chop if you like how it melts into your mouth. They have 2 other choices of sauces beside Black Pepper. If I am not mistaken one of them is Sweet & Sour and another one I am cannot remember. Sorry.

BBQ Grill Chicken Chop
Like brother like sister. We both love this. Chicken is taste average but well cooked. The best part is the sweet & sour sauce. It is truly nice! Very unique and I have never tasted such yet anywhere. The sweet taste and the sour taste in it are mixed very well without too extreme or the tastes overlapping each other. As you can see on both dishes has side dishes which are Salad, Spaghetti and French Fries. French Fries is the best, Salad not too bad, Spaghetti a bit too cold and the spaghetti sauce are too little which makes us feel like eating a plain spaghetti.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - You have to try anything with their sweet & sour sauce. Hopefully they able to maintain the same quality of sauce at all times. 

Chocolate and Vanilla ice cream with Oreo
Lastly you will have your 2 scoops of ice cream dessert to share with 2 person. Normal ice cream as you can see. Nothing much I can comment.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 2/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: N/A
Overall: Unless it is free or included in a set, otherwise really there is no reason for me to support you to order this.

Look at what my sister wants to show you. Yup, they have set lunch for only RM8.90++ with lots of choices. So for working people, this is one of the place you can settle your lunch.
In my opinion about this voucher from Groupon, this is consider the best food with the best deal. However, the deal can be improved by including drinks and the dessert does not have to be shared.

Total damage: RM20
Ambiance: 3/5
Service: 3/5
Food Serving Speed: Slow
Will I revisit?: If I have no place to yum cha with my sister, I think for most of the time I will yum cha with her at Caffeinees instead. Hope she won't get bored. Hahaha...

Hawker Center @Jalan MacAlister, Penang

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target to your prefer

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) -  not my favorite. The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile. RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and

Have you ever stay in a Durian Farm before? No? At Bao Sheng Durian Farm, you can do it! This 6.7 acres durian farm has been established in Balik Pulau since 1959. It really took them full 60 years to get the fruit of their hard work. Their villa is well equipped with air-con, hot shower and LCD TV with hundreds of Blu-Ray quality movies in it! They have existing queen size or king size bed and extra bed can be requested. To get close and personal with the King of Fruit...the accommodation charges will be Deluxe Villa is charged at RM280/night and standard villa will cost you RM180/night. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre

Thai Boat Noodles is a trendy authentic Boat Noodles originated in Bangkok Kwan Riam Floating Market located between Soi Saereethai 60 and Soi Ramkhamhaeng 187 where the vendors cook food in the little boats. It gains popularity not only with the locals but the tourist alike due to its sophisticated aroma riched soup based with sultry smooth Thai glass noodle that consists of more than 10 ingredients to prepare a piping hot bowl of comfort food. Aroi Thai Boat Noodles will target both Thai food lovers as well as casual diners looking for good food in a fascinating Thai atmosphere. Recently there is an interesting Thai restaurant which is known as Aroii Thai opened at Shaftsbury Square at Cyberjaya. The interesting part is all their food and drinks are only RM1.90++/each. I am not joking and I thought it was a gimmick too when I first heard of this. So I decided to drop by all the to Cyberjaya for a visit.  Aroii in Thai means delicious. This delicious eatery is always packed with

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government tax of 6%. Seriou

Marini's on 57 @KLCC

-
Image
In Singapore, you will see high class restaurants open their restaurant with Marina Bay Sands view. In KL, it will be the Petronas Twin Tower instead. However, to allow you to dine with the tower so up close and personal to you, it got to be Marini's on 57. Outstanding view which will just leave a memory of a lifetime to you.  You are very encouraged to make advanced reservation before visiting unless you are coming here for a common daily dining. This restaurant is located at Tower 3 and the entrance is near where the Chanel shop is. You will see a man with black suit at the entrance to escort you to their lift. Their lift is only going to take you to 57th floor which is where this restaurant is located. If you plan to dine by the window, they do set a minimum spending of RM300++/pax. Do not worry about it because you will easily spent more than that even with just main course and drinks only. This level is divided to two parts which are the restaurant and the bar. So

Sin Kee Bak Kut Teh, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
There are two best bak kut teh in Kota Kinabalu that I have known so far. One is known as Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh  and the other one is known as Sin Kee Bak Kut Teh. There are just located one street away from each other. However, both of them got the same jam packed customers as you can see from the picture above. You just cannot detect any available seat around. This is how good they are. The one and only chef in action to prepare the whole bak kut teh to all the patrons. The surprising part is the serving speed was extremely fast. Usually when you see so many people, you might think you will need to wait for quite some time but he can make sure you will get your food at the fastest speed. These are the prices after GST is imposed.  They do have other dishes to serve too apart of their famous Bak Kut Teh. However, my advice is just stick with their Bak Kut Teh no matter how much the waiter/waitress to push you to order more. The moment you sit down, they will straight aw
